Samsung CX971P Display

Samsung today updated one of its most unique computer LCDs. The dynamic contrast ratio of the CX971P now jumps from 1,500:1 to a much stronger 4,000:1, making it a better choice for artists as well as movie watchers and others who depend on truer colors. The change doesn't affect the rest of the design, Samsung says. The display still uses the company's trademark MagicRotation feature to adjust not just elevation and tilt but also the diagonal angle. The S-shaped stand also helps eliminate the clutter of a separate power supply.

Shipments of the CX971P are starting today in Korea at a price of $473 in the country. Though not available yet in the US, the refreshed LCD is virtually certain to arrive in the US later this year at a price closer to the $380 US currently set for the SyncMaster 971P equivalent available today.
